Finding Dark Matter

Abstract

This article investigates the enigmatic nature of dark matter, hypothesized to make up approximately 70% of the universe's total mass. Despite decades of research using state-of-the-art equipment such as the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment, direct detection of dark matter remains elusive, leading to skepticism and calls to revise existing theoretical frameworks. Rather than abandoning the search, this paper proposes an alternative investigative approach inspired by detective methodologies: using indirect evidence to infer the characteristics of an unseen phenomenon. The hypothesis presented posits that dark matter is a dual-component system comprising a superfluid-like medium and spherical particles. This system facilitates wave propagation, reduces cosmic friction, and supports the dynamic structure of the universe. Drawing analogies from structural engineering and mechanics, the article conceptualizes dark matter as a network of interconnected tunnels that allow the seamless movement of subatomic particles and waves. Finally, the study underscores the continued importance of dark matter research, asserting its pivotal role in explaining cosmic phenomena and the structure of the universe.
